Boshen Lift-Top Coffee Table: Modern Furniture with Convertible Hinge Mechanism Hardware Fitting

Jesse Rain: I used these for a 37-pound tabletop. I was worried that would be too much for the springs, but they handle it just fine. The real benefit of the springs is the soft landing when you put the table down. The maximum width of the table is probably close to 24-inches. Originally, I installed these on a tabletop that was 48-inches wide and, if you aren't careful, the table tended to twist as you pulled it up. It still worked, but you risk spilling your drink.

Amazon Customer: Purchased these to make a small ottoman into a short side table desk for an RV. These arms worked very well for what we needed. These don't lift the table too high so make sure to measure before you purchase to know what you are getting. We went with the springs over hydrologic lifts so they'd be less likely to have mechanical or twisting issues. Good price for what you get. When installing you need to have basic tool/handy skills and tools. It took some measuring to build the base exact and drill holes into the side supports. The springs do snap into place when opened so if your base isn't too heavy you have to hold the base when opening. I haven't weighed how much the tabletop holds but it's very sturdy.

Jacob WallenJacob Wallen: Made 2 differnt coffee tables with these hinges. one was hard wood oak, and the other was beetle kill pine. they work to lift the table tops but the oak top was much heavy than the pine so i used 4 hinges on the oak, the top was around 70 pounds and the hinges say they will lift 100 max with a pair. they did lift the top but when closing it the lid would slam so i had to add another pair.

the Pine top which was around 30lbs 1 pair had no issues lifting and it closed softly.

they are easy to install but they dont come with any screws so i went with some 1 1/2 GRK cabinet screws and they did trick.

will buy again

Kindle CustomersKindle Customers: I ordered this since I prefer dual purpose items in new house, and wanted lift away coffee table. I got one made, for around the same price paying someone and materials, for real wood, versus buying and most of the materials being particle board or something, and usually a flimpsy top. Used butcher block counter top cut to size, used other half for kitchen island build, protected with polyurethane, still use coasters, as the table top. These are sturdy, took some time getting proper placement, and happy with the results. They can hold up a piece of thick butcher block without issues. Now, I can do work and eat in front of T.V. for when I'm feeling too lazy to go and sit at regular table. I would order again if needed for project.

Someone or anotherSomeone or another: As described. Lifts up 5.5 inches, comes forward 10 inches. There is racking, which can easily be avoided by using 2 hands on either side of the top and lifting evenly and carefully. Used on a white oak coffee table with a 38in x 24in top, and there are no issues with the top holding the springs down. Mechanism fit into 4.25in tall base and were installed before the bottom was placed into the base. It would have been extremely difficult to install without access through the bottom of the table. Seemed like a lot of screw holes so skipped some and still seems to work fine.
